"2018-06-07T00:00:00"^^ . "My wedding dress experience has been the most amazing experience I have had during the wedding planning process. I owe it all to Uptown Bridal and their lovely staff. My sister-n-law told me about this boutique and said she had heard nothing but good things about it. I can vouch for that now. I made my appointment in August 2017, and the wait for January was agonizing . The next five months were a roller coaster of emotions; nervousness, excitement and insomniac. On the sleepless nights, I would read Uptown Bridal reviews until my excitement got me tired and put me to sleep (dramatic, I know but once you experience what I did, you'll understand). During those five months, I also saw countless episodes of TLC's Say Yes to the Dress, bawling my eyes out and impatiently waited for my appointment. \n\nUptown Bridal gave me some homework: a questionnaire and to go into their Pinterest and pin the dresses I wanted to try on. \n\nFast forward to the day of my appointment. My mom, two sister-n-laws, step mother-n-law and my fiance's sister met at my house at 0600 to drive a few hours to Chandler. Everything was perfect from the moment we walked into the Boutique. I mean EVERYTHING. The building was the cutest thing ever, they had donuts for us, coffee, macaroons, and sparkling non-alcoholic champagne. It was very personal, they had pictures of Justin and I all over the place. The room where I was going to be trying on dresses was filled with dresses I had pinned. I also had the option to pick out any other ones I wanted to try. My step mother-n-law picked one out for me (which ended up being \"The One\")!\n\nI had never tried wedding gowns on so I was nervous. The first one I tried ended up being MY DRESS!!!! I wont give any more spoilers about how amazing it is. Just call Uptown Bridal, make an appointment and live the experience yourself. You will NOT regret it. \n\nYesterday, I went to pick up my gown and it was more beautiful than I remembered. I did not want to take it off, nor did I want to leave the amazing shop. I cannot wait to be in Cancun and walk down the aisle towards my best friend and say \"I do\" in a gown that feels like it was made especially for me!\n\nA million Thank Yous to Diane, Tonia, Nicole and all your fabulous staff. I could not have had such a marvelous experience without you. My advice to you bride-to-be, call Uptown Bridal, make your appointment and fall in love all over again. \n\n- Annette \nFuture Mrs. Zahn"^^ . "5"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . . . .
